http://gadgether.com/zipper-bracelet-watch-design/#commentsFri, 19 Nov 2010 18:30:03 +0000http://gadgether.com/?p=7881Talk about unique and funky LED watches and the Zipper Bracelet Watch Design just fits in. To be honest, most of the LED watches we see are quite weird looking.

In fact, some of them are not even worth wearing. I mean imagine you are wearing a watch with numerous red, yellow, blue, and green lights on it, won’t it look strange? Of course it does and I guess that’s the only reason why the watch designers these days are looking towards designing more and more realistic watch designs. This is where the Zipper Bracelet watch comes in.

Designed by Andy from Ukraine, this bracelet watch is meant to be a heavy metal rock bracelet watch. Basically, the concept here is to design a watch that looks more like a bracelet or a wrist strap instead of a watch. I personally think Andy has achieved his goal because this watch looks nothing like a watch. And, when you read the time out to your friend looking at your bracelet, he would be quite astonished as to what you are exactly doing. That’s the best part about this watch!

This watch design has a broad leather strap and the zippers you can see on its display time. Now that’s the more fascinating part. You would be wondering how exactly can zippers show time? Well that’s the trick here. When you push the central buttons on the wrist each zip will display a single digit. If you combine all four numbers it will tell you the exact time. Check out the picture below which explains how exactly this watch works.

Currently we only have pictures of the straps being in white color. Although I personally think that they would look cooler in black, brown, and pink. Pink for ladies and of course brown and black for guys. This can be the ultimate watch of the millennium if the designer plans on working on it a bit more. Anyways, right now, I guess we should appreciate Andy for this wonderful concept. Hats off Andy!

http://gadgether.com/the-electronic-bracelet-watch-design-is-innovative-and-beautiful/#commentsTue, 02 Nov 2010 18:23:33 +0000http://gadgether.com/?p=7135What’s the simplest piece of adornment one can don? Something that is classy and elegant, something that has functionality in addition to being smart and something that need not be as pricey as buying a bar of gold in the bullion market; a wristwatch.Wristwatches have an aura of style unique to them. They range from being mere straps of leather – simple yet refined to the more swank metal bands that be altered to give the wearer a casual or a professional look. Times keep on changing, eras have come and gone and will keep on coming; but owning and flashing off a wristwatch is a trend that will never feel the slack. On the contrary, given the high PPP – purchasing power parity – of the people, it’s become almost a given that costlier the watch, the classier is the look and feel of the user.

And keeping in mind the changing trend and the potential demand of the contemporary user, TokyoFlash Japan has created a blog specifically to cater the needs and imagination of the user. The blog has designs and prototypes that look fashionable and convey the ultimate purpose of a wristwatch – to indicate time.

One such example of an out-of-the-box vision of a wristwatch comes from Jozze. The Spaniard has created a prototype of a wristwatch using LEDs – Light Emitting Diodes instead of the routine 12 digits, an hour hand and a second hand.

Incorporating an aluminium case and a leather watch strap, the design has been contrived to give the wearer a feature of coolness and suaveness. The prospective timepiece also aims at giving the user a USP of sorts thus imparting him with a singularity and individuality in a fast altering coeval world.

The watch consists of 12 LEDs of a five-minute group each, acting as the minute hand. These LEDS are located on the side of the watch strap – six on each side. Each of these LEDs light up and increase their brightness as the end of the five-minute period approaches and remain lighted till the end of the hour. Thereafter, the loop begins again to denote the start and the progress of the next hour.

The hour hand – or in this case – another set of 12 LED lights are located on the face of the watch strap. These lights are also placed six on each side and light randomly, denoting the passage of an hour. Simply put, according to the planned designing, if the time is half-past-12, then the LED lights on the face of the strap will not light up. But the lights located on the side of the strap, will light up with six lights denoting the 30 minute time duration. Apart from the variation in the prescribed dial format, the other aspects of this watch are similar to the present-day watches; adjustable straps and so on and so forth.

It has to be noted, though that at first glance, this watch – known as Electronic Bracelet Watch Design – definitely does not appear like a watch. It looks like a gadget straight out of a James Bond movie, with lights blinking and no visible dial on the face of the strap. A definite prospective trend setter by the looks of it, the watch does need to get introduced and propagated in the market.

Currently, only the design is being circulated by TokyoFlash though it can be an optimistic thought that since the design has been incorporated by the watch blog, one day the prototype will find its way into the mainstream market. Ironically, it happens to be time which has to play a final and determining role regarding the introduction of this product in the ultimate consumer market.

http://gadgether.com/the-orbe-led-watch-shows-time-in-a-unique-way/#commentsTue, 26 Oct 2010 17:38:17 +0000http://gadgether.com/?p=6857Everyone has watches, but haven’t you always hankered for something different, unique, and catchy? A watch that would definitely make your friends and colleagues turn green with envy ?Then the Tokyoflash ORBE LED watch is the perfect one for you! The Orbe LED watch designed in a perfect circle is truly unique. This watch was designed by Victor Benet Montoro from Spain. The unique design for this watch was inspired by the concept of unity. The circle which symbolizes the sun creates rhythms on the watch. It originates from the centre, moves out gradually towards the edges; the multiplicity of the sun’s rays is interpreted as hours and as the hours pass by, it increases the shape of the watch.

This is the profound relationship between the one that is the sun, symbolizing the perfection of simplicity wedded to eternity. The Orbe LED watch is a simple device, which, by pressing the button at the centre, shows the hours and minutes as lights on the surface of the watch.

Every red line on the watch denotes an hour. Every white point stands for a minute, and every blue point on the Orbe LED watch represents two minutes. Even though it sounds a lot different from usual watches, it is very easy to glean the exact time from the unique Orbe LED watch.

The Orbe circle watch is just perfect for people who are tech savvy and cool. It’s useful and popular with people who just love its simplicity and unique design. In fact, the Orbe LED watch is ideal for all age groups, be it men or women and of every nationality.

Its unique design combines attractive colors and shapes with the simplicity of its reading, since it is equipped with just one button that has to be pressed to show the time. The Orbe LED watch does not require any hard production methodology or complex clockworks. The watch is based on the same technology that Tokyoflash uses. Tokyoflash promotes a very simple philosophy which is to create and design cutting edge products. Also, Tokyoflash turns telling time into an art, which is well appreciated by all with an artistic bend of mind, and they are well known for their unique and ingenious product designs.

The Orbe watch is loved for its exclusive design, which is kept simple, yet avant-garde. It is like a breath of fresh air in the world of watches. The light emanating from the cuts in the side of the Orbe watch reminds one of hot molten lava leaking out of a volcano. Little wonder that this watch is loved not only by the geeks but also by the fashion conscious folks out there.

The Orbe LED watch looks subtle and smart on your wrists. When you need to tell the time, just touch the button to access the time display. Once you get the hang of it, it is a very smart choice indeed, one which can be treasured forever.

http://gadgether.com/get-the-neon-edge-with-the-neon-ized-led-watch/#commentsMon, 25 Oct 2010 06:54:45 +0000http://gadgether.com/?p=6853This is yet another watch design and a very new way to tell the time. The Neon-ized LED watch is the latest to enter the wide world of time telling. Designed by Logan, the first glance at the Tokyoflash watch will reveal absolutely nothing to you. All that you get to see are a couple of cyan and magenta lines interspersed with a few squares. The design makes for a wonderful bracelet. But hold on, the design is not constant and will keep changing. On careful examination, you will get to see that these lines and squares are, in fact, trying to tell you the time.

This is how it works – the cyan lines represent single minutes. There will be a maximum of nine cyan lines in all. The yellow squares stand for tens of minutes, which are five in total. The magenta lines represent the hours. So, at a given time when there are four magenta lines, five squares and six cyan lines, the time would be four hours and fifty six minutes.

It is true that reading this watch is not a simple game. It does take some time to get used to it. It does appear complicated for a while. In fact, it is almost like giving counting lessons to a kid. But it is always good to keep the child alive in all of us. Life becomes a lot more fun, and small things like this Neon-ized LED watch bring a smile on everyone’s faces.

The colors used for this watch carry with them a futuristic appeal. The body is black in color with the broad black face displaying a range of neon colors. It gives the effect of a gadget being used in a science fiction movie. Wouldn’t it look perfect on the wrist of any of the science fiction heroes? In fact, it will also gel with the black outfit of batman.

Watch designs have always fascinated designers of all times. Time and again, we come across a new watch design like the Vapor 300 and Ex-Time. These two also make use of an LED screen on which the time is displayed. The difference between them is the fact that while they display numbers like traditional watches, the Neon-ized used lines and squares to tell the time. The task over here is a little complex, but once you get accustomed to it everything is a smooth ride.

http://gadgether.com/glyph-buckle-watch-concept/#commentsSat, 23 Oct 2010 11:11:15 +0000http://gadgether.com/?p=7122Day by day, we are seeing much better LED watches coming up to the surface. While not all of them are good, some of them truly catch our eyes. Here is a good example of what a nice and chic LED watch should look like.

This one is called the Glyph Buckle Watch Concept. As the name implies, the watch is a representation of Glyptic art blended with the current fashion needs and of course some necessary features. The watch design was presented by Devindh from the UK for Tokyoflash.

What’s particularly good about the watch is the way it looks and the way it has incorporated futuristic features in an ancient looking design. The golden dial with two black stripes that display time along with the crocodile skin type leather straps is a good combination that definitely makes the watch look exquisite. The main case is designed like a buckle with 2 straps from the cuff. Seconds are denoted by raised dots and hours are represented by 12 raised bars. The arrows on the black stripes point to the seconds that has 5 divisions.

Each of the rows has 5 dots on the left and the arrow points to one row at a time to display seconds. This arrow has five bars and they illuminate one by one until 15 minutes have passed. Similarly, the right side arrow denotes hours by simply illuminating against the bar. Look at the picture below to get an idea.

The way this watch works is a bit complicated compared to most of the LED watches we have seen in the recent past. However, once you learn it, things will get easier. To be honest, I would compromise on the difficulty factor against the style factor. The watch looks extraordinary. In these days, there is a trend of wearing leather watches that look old school. The watch combines modern features with an old school looking leather watch to give you one hell of a fashion accessory!

The good part is that this watch doesn’t leave you desiring for more. It is one fashion accessory that you would love to wear.

http://gadgether.com/buckled-led-watch-design/#commentsSat, 16 Oct 2010 14:00:21 +0000http://gadgether.com/?p=6533Now, this is what we rate as a unique and elegant wristwatch design. Partially inspired by the ‘Tokyoflash Waku’ range and partially by the LEDs of Apple, this watch is one chic piece. Designed by Devindh, the watch is for girls as you can see in the pictures.

The designer says that he has been pretty much impressed, by the way Apple has integrated LEDs with small holes in their products. Well, we don’t know whether this one will be as good as an Apple product or not, yet the design surely looks promising!

The overall concept of the watch was to create something that is fashionable, and at the same time, would allow the girls to wear it as a jewelry. For sure, the final version is somewhat like that. As you can see in the pictures, it hardly looks like a watch and looks more like a bracelet. In the center, you can see the hour indicators with those Apple-like micro LEDs. The good part is that they are not confusing at all. Anyone can look at it for the first time and read the time. It has been kept similar to a standard watch just that the digital have been replaced by LEDs.

Minutes are present on the outer rim with digits and an LED light indicator. Again, this part is easy to understand as well. The red indicator goes up, and you get to know the minutes. The digits are etched on the outer rim, so you won’t need to worry about them fading or washing off.

It’s a classy yet a trendy piece perfect for anyone who looks forward to adding some style sense in their attire. The good part is that it can be worn with casual dresses as well as with formal dresses. The leather straps give the watch more of an appeal. Depending on the color you choose, the chips on the straps, and the buckle are of the same color with the dial. For instance, in the gold dial version the chips on the straps and the buckle are of gold color, whereas in the black version both are black.

http://gadgether.com/led-bracelet-watch-design/#commentsFri, 15 Oct 2010 09:50:04 +0000http://gadgether.com/?p=6110How about we say this one is from the Star Trek franchise? Will you believe that? Of course anyone would do but the truth is it’s neither from Star Trek nor has it been inspired from it. It is a new watch design from the TokyoFlash Design Studio that looks more like a bracelet than a watch.

It looks nice but I wouldn’t say it’s an excellent design. I don’t think it has that x-factor that would make people go all wow once they see this one on your wrist. So, to me it’s just another LED watch design which for sure is unique like most of them but is not something I would die for.

Although I must admit that the designer of this watch must have put his heart and soul into making something that would stand out from the rest. First off, the design is highly amusing (not catchy though). It can make you stare at it for a while until you feel that it’s clumsy. Maybe you won’t feel that way unlike me. The outer lines show the hours whereas minutes are showed in digits like a standard digital watch. So that’s pretty easy right? Once you have this watch you’ll know for sure how easy it is to read time on it.

The best part about this watch that makes it unique is the inclusion of those white edges on both the ends. These white edges highlight the illumination of the LEDs. Well that for sure makes the watch look neat and more exquisite, and probably that’s the only good about it.

I would have loved the watch if the shape wasn’t that bland. They could have made the straps narrower in width than the dial to give it a more elegant look. Right now, it looks like more of a handcuff than a bracelet. The silver and black combination however makes it look a bit good. Still I think there is a lot of room for improvement. It would have been awful to see this watch in one color especially silver.

http://gadgether.com/helix-the-new-watch-design-concept/#commentsTue, 12 Oct 2010 17:00:46 +0000http://gadgether.com/?p=6103Let’s admit that this is one of the most fascinating and unique watch designs we have seen this year.

It is the brainchild of Logan from USA, and it looks stylish as well has a complete futuristic design. For sure this one makes me feel that LED watches are taking over now. Although I have always thought that LED watches are not for me, such designs and concepts have made me changed my mind. I would love to have one of these for me.

According to Logan, the concept behind this Tokyoflash watch is to have a unique yet simple to use watch. Although it looks difficult, reading time on it is no big deal. The best part about this watch is that the time is displayed in a DNA structure-like way. The blue lines show hours from 1 to 12. Yellow ones show minutes in groups of 5. And the green dots there show single minutes. The beauty is that all these vibrant colors are displayed on a dial which is completely pitch black. They would glow and make the watch look more attractive. Although it looks difficult in the pictures, reading time is pretty easy on the watch. The time increase in one direction and of course the number lights increases too with it.

Earlier some time we saw a similar watch named the Infection watch which looked quite similar as well. We loved that one and we’ll love this one too. Believe it or not, it is a totally fresh concept and is highly attractive and amusing. That small key on the top right of the dial is another adornment to the watch.

Apart from all the functions and features of the watch, it looks stylish and rugged too. Although I don’t really know how tough it is in real, from the pictures I can say it would be sturdy enough to bear normal shocks. The straps I am guessing are made of hard plastic or rubber but I don’t really have a clue on that one. Anyhow, it’s nice to see designers coming up with better designs every day. Good job Logan!

http://gadgether.com/moebius-ring-watch-design-concept-for-the-geometrically-inclined/#commentsThu, 07 Oct 2010 16:55:58 +0000http://gadgether.com/?p=6567Modern designs are very interesting and innovative because each new design challenges the old conventional and traditional concepts. Different watch designs displayed at Tokyoflash are proof of the fact that designers want to break conventions. For instance, take a look at this Moebius Ring watch design by Anders. Only geometrically and mathematically inclined geek minds will appreciate and love this watch which is so unlikely to traditional timepieces.

Moebius Ring watch design has two non-numerical dials and the watch looks more like a designer bracelet. In fact, no one will realize that this bracelet hides a watch for the dials themselves are helical rings divided into sections to read hour and minutes, respectively. Only when looked at closely and keenly, one can see that these helix shapes are Moebius rings, which tell time when LED lights up different sections.

Moebius rings are geometrical shapes that have intrigued mathematicians and genius minds over ages. It is an excellent watch design concept for it tells time in a unique way, and it takes a while to understand how to read time, so geeks will love to decipher this watch. Those who have no interest in mathematics and geometry can wear it anyway for it looks very stylish and elegant.

http://gadgether.com/led-flower-watch-design-bloom/#commentsTue, 05 Oct 2010 14:10:07 +0000http://gadgether.com/?p=5817The new watch design from Tokyoflash Design Studio truly changes the manner and style of watches forever. The LED Flower Watch Bloom design depicts time in the most unique way of all, with the help of blooming flowers.

This watch, which has no clasp but can be worn like a bangle is more of a jewelry accessory than a watch, which makes it a definite must for those who love such accessories. Added to this is the unique way of which you can tell the time. With this watch, the number of petals depicts the time of the day, with the largest flower showing the hours. It is important to note that each petal denotes one hour, while the circle at the center denotes 6 hours.

The smaller flowers depict the minutes, with the upper flower showing minutes by tens, and the lower one showing minutes in single digits. The circle at the center of the smaller flower in the lower end of the watch denotes five minutes, while the circle at the center of the other smaller flower denotes whether it is morning or evening.
